LONDON JOURNALS. [RI.OM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) [The Times] AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Nov. 25. The follo,ving Memorial of Count Bentinck was delivered to the Sovereigns and their Ministers wb ile assembled here. Russia, it is said, declared that she had no claim on Kniphansen. This affair wss taker' into consideration at the conferences, i►wl it was resolved that it should be decided nt Berlin, under the mediaticia of the Courts of Prussia and RnSsia. E*entiul Points relative to the Affair of the Lord rhip of Kniphausen, belonging to Count BEN.- I'INCK. '" r. During the existence (The Germanic Empire, the Lord ship of Kuiphausen was immediate. Its possessor, Count Bentinek,, enjoyed territorial superiority as completely as the Dukeof Oldenburg did that of his - duchy. He was even more indepindent than the Duke; he was exempt front all contri bution., either to the Empire, or to any of its circles; he did not furnish any contingent to the army of the Empire and during the interregnum he was exempt from the jurisdiction of the Vicars of the Empire. None of these prerogatives were possessed by the Duke. Q. When Napoleon extinguished the Germanic Empire, and established the Rhenish Confederation, Kuiphausen was not mediatized. Nut being admitted to the Rhenish Confe deration, this lordship experienced the fate of the other non confederated States of the Holy Empire : it was, in the first instance, recognised as a Sovereignly by Napoleon himself, according to his general declaration concerning the German States not comprised in the confederation.* 3. Towards the end of the year 1807, Napoleon, by an act of authority, placed Kniphausert under the sovereignty of his brother the King of Holland. That Prince had to exercise over this Lordship such rights of Sovereignty as had been de termined i❑ favour of the different Sovereign States of the Confederation. 4. That subordinate position, the effect of the tyranny of Napoleon, was of short duration. By an organic senatus consult= of the 131 h of December, 1810, Napoleon united the kingdom of Holland to the French empire, as well as the lordships of Kniphausen and ,lever, and the Duchy of Olden burg, including the lordship of \Tavel, belonging to Count Bentinck. From that moment, the Count was hut proprietor of his domains of Kniphausen, without enjoying any seigno vial or feudal right. Kniphausen experienced the same fate as the Melly of Oldenburg - . 5. The Count haring already, before the hattle of Lei psic, too zealously espoused the cause of the high Allied Powers, was arrested by the French authorities, and. imprisoned at Paris, and his possessions in Kniphausen were sequestrated. Some Russian troops, under the orders of Gen. WinZingerode, having approached Kniphausen towards the end of the month of October, 18;3, Count Bentinck soon reinstated himself in possession . of his ancient sovereign rights over Kniphansen, by his plenipotentiary Counsellor Rasmus. Front that mo ment, the Count found himself publicly re-established in the exercise of his ancient rights of political independenceAn Kniphausen--rights the exercise of which had been suspended only by the completely arbitrary acts of the usurper. 6. Some weeks after, on the 25th of November, IE3, Ge neral Winzingerode took possession of Kniphausen, in the name of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia. This was only a provisional and military measure. 7. The Duke of Oldenburg returned two days after, (the 27th of November, 1813,) to• his residence at Oldenburg; and notwithstanding the repeated protestations of ,Count Ben tinck, persisted in maintaining the exercise of the rights of sovereignty over Kniphausen usurped by Napoleon, and even the sequestration which was placed upon private property by the French Authorities. The Duke has thought fit to avail:himself of the act of possession of the Russian General, which was of a nature purely military. But, on the part of the Duke, this was nothing less than an usurpation, which is still continued. • 3. These unjust proceedings induced Baron tie Stein, Mi nister of State, to declare officially, in a letter dated Paris, May 29, 1814, and addreSsedto the Hereditary Prince of 01- denburg—" That it could not have been the intention of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, that the possession which the French, without .any right, had taken of Kniphausen, should be continued in his name after the expulsion of the French ; that lordship belonging exclusively to Count Ben:- tinck, and being entirely independent of every foreign Go vernment. That the act of possession by General Winzinge rode, not being bounded on any right, could only have taken place thro►rgh ignorance of the real state of the case, and through a misunderstanding, if indeed it could really be sup posed that he had the intention of continuing the Fiend; usurpation in the name of the Emperor." 9. Notwithstanding this official Declaration, and the re peated representations of Count. Bentinck, the Duke conti nues the act of possession, under pretence that he cannot re linquish it without being expressly authorized so to do from his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias. This was merely a pretence. The Duke well knows, and knows too by official declarations, that Russia is not ill-disposed towards the Count, and that she makes DO claims on the Lordship. Will his conscience tell him' that he has acted with good faith dur ing the 5 yt ars that he has deprived the Count of the exercise of his rii;hts ? Will it tell him that his acts are conformahle to the principles of the Holy Alliance to which he has acceded ? Lie knows that the public opinion is pronounced against hint. fie is unable to justify his arbitrary proceedings. Hr cannot conciliate that opinion except -by voluntarily renouncing his unjust possession of Kniphausen. 10. The Duke would wish to mediatize Kniphausen and its Lord ; he cannot either by law or by force. The Congress of did ;it find them mediatized, it found them sove reign; there could therefore be no question about the " con tinuance" of the mediatization. The Congress did not me diatize them, although the affair of Kniphausen was die cussed. It ►vas considered that the mediatization of Knip hausen and its possessor was not one of the arrangements rendered necessary by the situation in which Europe was placed at the conclusion of the late war t. The epoch of tnediatizations is past. To wish to mcdiatize now, is to wish to Napoleonize. • 11.

From The New York Commercial AdveriisCT of Nov. 7.] The Parliament of Upper Canada met at York on the 14th ult. The Session was opened with a short speech by the new Goveknor, Sir PEREGRINZ MAITLAND. The folio-wing passage front his speech alludes to the late convention which was convened through the influence of a Alr.GonaLar, from England :—" In the course of your investi gation you will, I doubt not, feel a just indigna tion of the attempt which has been made to ex cite discontent and to organize sedition. Should it appear to you that a convention of delegates cannot exist without danger to the Constitution, in framing a law of prevention, your dispassionate wisdom will be careful that it shall not .unwarily trespass on that sacred right of the subject to seek a redress of his grievances by petition." To this passage the Legislative Council thus reply : " We shall at all times feel a just indignation at every attempt which may excite discontent or organize sedition ; and if it shall appear to us that a convention of delegates cannot exist without danger to the Constitution, in framing a law of prevention we will be careful that this shall not unwarily trespass on the sacred light of the sub ject to seek a redress of his grivances by peti tion." To the same paragraph, the Commons House of Assembly reply as follows : We feel a just indignation at the systematic attempts that have been made to excite discon tent, and organize sedition in this happy Colony, whilst the usual and constitutional mode of appeal, for real or supposed grievances, has ever been open to the people of this Province, never re fused or even appealed to ; and deeply lament that the insidious designs of one factious individual should have succeeded in drawing into the sop port of his vile machinations so many honest men and loyal subjects of his Majesty. We remember that this favoured land was assigned to our fathers as a retreat for suffering loyalty, and not a sanctuary for sedition. in the course of our in vestigation, should it appear to this House that a convention of delegates cannot exist without danger to the Constitution in framing A law of Prevention, we will carefully distinguish between such convention and the lawful act of the subject in petitioning for a ,redress of real or imaginary grievances—that sacred right of every British Subject which we will ever hold inviolable." All the private intelligence from Paris that may be supposed to come from persons uninfluenced by party views and political prejudices, conctus in declaring that the Allied Troops have been prematurely removed.---The Jacobins already break forth very freely in conversation, and utter republican sentiments with alarming fervour. It was thought that, now Frenchmen have a Repre sentative Body, and something like a free Press, their fury would discharge itself through those organs, and that such a vent would obviate more dangerous movements. But these apparent ad vantages operate as stimulants, and rouse their dormant feelings into more energy. It is well known that the sort of Repreientative Body which was formed by the Tiers Etttt, during the early stages of the French Revolution, and the freedom of the Press at the same period, in stead of giving a harmless vent to democratical doctrines, soon spread them over the Country, anti produced all • the Revolutionary horrors which shook Europe to its centre. Such, we fear, will be the future progress of things. These opinions we have always maintained, from the restoration of the House of BOURBON, an event which we anxiously desired, and on which we heartily re joiced, Our chiet Correspondent at Paris, a very intelligent man, was of a different opinion, and has often endeavoured to reason us out ofour apprehen sions, but be coold.not shake our convictions ; and when we find that France is increasing her armies ; that BUONAPARTE'S Noblesse, a perfidious gang of ambitious Jacobins, with hardly one ex ception, are warmly received at Court, and no doubt will have military command, what may reasonably be expected—particularly as the KING is'far advanced in life, infirm, and of too mild and amiable a character to contend • with revoln tionaryßufkms—iwhat but the renewal of those re forming measures which tend to overthrow all Es tablished Governments, kid every thing that time has rendered venerable in the estimation of man kind ?—We see in the polluted Presses of the OP rosynoN in this Country, that hereditary Sove reignty is treated with contempt and ridicule, under the name of Legitimacy, though the best political system ever devised fur the security of a State, and the happiness of a people. What fate then has Legi timacy to expect in a country which has long been the hot-bed of the must desperate democracy, which overthrew the Throne by one Rey ° mt o 11(1 will most probably, sooner th an g°°- st. can believe possible, again level it in the au a Pr THE FUNDS.—This morning Consols. 11P lloWeor other advance, being dooke at 79i . ; til e); o to fell to 79-I,lllbut the Market looked escec , well, and much business was done. i f be e d missioners gave 78 fur Reduced, and wcr e ser • generally by the Jobbers.
